* docs: remove some replace macros like |struct foo|Mauro Carvalho Chehab2020-10-151-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | There are three files with replace macros for structs, mapping them into Sphinx 2.x C domain references. Well, this is broken on Sphinx 3.x. Also, for Sphinx 2.x, the automarkup macro should be able to take care of them. So, let's just drop those. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
* cpufreq: Specify default governor on command lineQuentin Perret2020-07-021-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the only way to specify the default CPUfreq governor is via Kconfig options, which suits users who can build the kernel themselves perfectly. However, for those who use a distro-like kernel (such as Android, with the Generic Kernel Image project), the only way to use a non-default governor is to boot to userspace, and to then switch using the sysfs interface. Being able to specify the default governor on the command line, like is the case for cpuidle, would allow those users to specify their governor of choice earlier on, and to simplify the userspace boot procedure slighlty. To support this use-case, add a kernel command line parameter allowing the default governor for CPUfreq to be specified, which takes precedence over the built-in default. This implementation has one notable limitation: the default governor must be registered before the driver. This is solved for builtin governors and drivers using appropriate *_initcall() functions. And in the modular case, this must be reflected as a constraint on the module loading order.

| * cpufreq: governor: Drop min_sampling_rateViresh Kumar2017-07-221-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate. At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in the policy will be only changing frequency for ever. But that is something for the user to decide and there is no need to have special handling for such cases in the core. Leave it for the user to figure out.

* cpufreq: User/admin documentation update and consolidationRafael J. Wysocki2017-03-141-0/+700
The user/admin documentation of cpufreq is badly outdated. It conains stale and/or inaccurate information along with things that are not particularly useful. Also, some of the important pieces are missing from it. For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq containing current information to admin-guide and drop the old outdated .txt documents it is replacing. Since there will be more PM documents in admin-guide going forward, create a separate directory for them and put the cpufreq document in there right away. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
